The environment consists of fields constructible west side, a wooded area on the north side and not building a house under construction on the east side
Contemporary, this house is a hybrid, fitting perfectly into the future suburban fabric, it takes advantage of the steep terrain, while framing the magnificent views of the site (north).

plan

This house is based on the typology of our barns (large roofs, and long forms of openings on the facades dotted with large portals) to adapt the program to a house in a rather unusual site.
The house is actually a series of « pignons » “porous” for four numbers: Both the garage (wood frame in Douglas clear voice) and two of the house (wood frame with glass embedded in Larch).
